It's Benji's 250th game in the NRL, coming up against his former club, it's their home game so I'm not going to write them off just yet, it seems every time we get cocky we don't turn up and it's the free to air game as well, the omens aren't good.

It will be interesting to see how Benji goes in this game.
Will be a little bit short of match fitness.
Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of traffic is directed towards Benji.
Especially to test his hamstrings, and big blokes running at him close to the try line.

This feels like the build up to the Newcastle game in that deep down, beyond the usual nerves that the win is there, and it's more a question of how well we can win. Not trying to sound cocky, but that's how it feels. Not often we go into games expecting to walk out winners.

Agree, really a lot depends on our mindset.
We walk in thinking its an easy win and we might get ambushed

Similar thing to the Dogs game, we were no chance yet nearly walked away winners.

We sadly gave the Knights their first win of 2016 and we gave the Raiders a chance to give us a hiding.

We have been hot and cold. I'm hoping the team runs out with the right mind-set and aim to achieve 2 things

Its really a double edge sword for Benji
He is doing his best to play this year in the hope to impress and get a contract for 2017
He cant afford to keep missing game time BUT at the same time i dont think he is giving himself enough time to recover hence the re-injury

Really hope Brooks continues his run of form. This team is a little better than Souths. Being smashed in the media for no real reason after just two average games. Everyone's commenting on them averaging 13 ppg but for over half the season that average has kept them in the 8 so I don't think that's necessarily a weakness.
